Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Probably originally *streuganą, with -k- due to influence from the iterative *strukkōną, from a Proto-Indo-European *strewgʰ- (to stroke, shave). Related to Proto-Slavic *strъgati (to scrape), Lithuanian strùgas (short, cropped).[1] Compare also *strīkaną (to stroke), which is apparently unrelated, despite strikingly similar phonetics and semantics.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈstreu̯.kɑ.nɑ̃/

Verb

*streukaną[1][2]

  1. to stroke, wipe
